Jack Bauer, Anti-terrorist (actor Kiefer Sutherland)has 10 remaining hours to save America from terrorists and regain his conservative political stature. Jack Bauer lost some of his conservative convictions when he made a death-bed confession to a Muslim Imam during the final episode of Season 7.

It's official. "24" has been canceled, and will be ending after 10 more hours of episodes. The announcement was made at the end of Monday night's show (March 29). CONSERVATIVE WORDSMITH.COM believes there are several reasons why "24"will no longer be on the air.

The original U.S. President in Season 1, President David Palmer, portrayed by actor Dennis Haysbert, should never have been assasinated in the first place, because he was the hit show's best president.

The writers should never have changed Jack Bauer, portrayed by Kiefer Sutherland, (who won a Best Actor Emmy) from an anti-Islamic Jihadist terrorist hero to a heroin addict. As soon as the writers of "24" realized this was a big mistake, they had Jack Bauer recover from the heroin addiction in Season 3. I still forgave Jack back then because his character was so intriguing.

The writers never should have changed Jean Smart's ultra-conservative character Martha Logan, patriotic and heroic first lady in Season 5, into a raving lunatic duriing a brief appearance in a Season 6 episode. Also, "24" producers never should have eliminated Martha Logan from the series, as actress Jean Smart, in my opinion, was one of the best contributors to the entire "24" series. * See Related Link below.

Similarly, "24" never should have turned Tony Almeida, portrayed by actor Carlos Bernard, from a hero into a villain. Even though Carlos Bernard's acting was phenomenal, this disturbing liberal pattern of "24" turning a conservative hero into a character-flawed heroin addict, another conservative hero into a liberal villain, or an incredibly brave, strong, and partriotic first lady into an insane first lady was never a good move, because this is not what the "24" viewing audience wanted to watch.

There are other reasons why I think "24" is ending, such as the Writers Guild of America Writers' Strike, which caused the series to be off the air for a year, and original creator and producer, outspoken political conservative Joel Surnow, unexpectedly deciding to quit "24" early in 2008. * See Related Links below.

It was only after conservative Joel Surnow left "24" that the show really started to go down hill. Liberals took over and the writers made a huge shift from mostly conservative and politically incorrect politics to mostly liberal and politically correct politics.

Will I miss Jack Bauer? Yes. Was Annie Wersching as Renee Walker a great addition to Season 8? Yes. Will Jack Bauer andRenee Walker end up getting married in the final episode? Maybe.

In the final analysis, should "24" be ending in 2010? Perhaps the show could have remained on television for yet another season, or more seasons, if Jack Bauer had not confessed to a Muslim Imam in Season 7, but it's difficult to know this for certain. In any case, my weekly habit of meeting Jack Bauer in my living room via my televison set will be ending after 10 more hours of "24" episodes.

Sarah Palin will lead Tea Party activists at "Showdown In Searchlight" event on Saturday in rural Nevada. Sarah Palin and Tea Party activists are anxious to have Senate majority leader Reid out of the political picture this November. More than 1,000 people had already arrived this morning.

"Reid, the Senate majority leader, is credited with helping push through Congress the health care bill that President Obama signed Tuesday, as well as the so-called "fixes" measure that passed Thursday."

Thousands are streaming in to participate in the "Showdown In Searchlight."

Conservative Radio host Rush Limbaugh compared Democrats to Nazis on his radio show in August of 2009. What Rush Limbaugh said is food for thought.

Rush Limbaugh's comparisons are chillingly similar, and one shudders to think about a bit of German history Rush Limbaugh mentioned in reference to health care: Nazis were for lifelong National health care for everyone, from babies to adults.

Here is what Rush Limbaugh said about the similarities between Democrats and Nazis:

"'Well, the Nazis were against big business -- they hated big business. And of course we all know that they were opposed to Jewish capitalism. They were insanely, irrationally against pollution. They were for two years mandatory voluntary service to Germany. They had a whole bunch of make-work projects to keep people working, one of which was the Autobahn. They were against cruelty and vivisection of animals, but in the radical sense of devaluing human life, they banned smoking. They were totally against that. They were for abortion and euthanasia of the undesirables, as we all know, and they were for cradle-to-grave nationalized healthcare.'"

Senate Republicans discovered a glitch in the new Health Care Bill. The Health Care Bill glitch deals with Pell Grants and low-income college students. 1

CONSERVATIVE WORDSMITH.COM COMMENTARY:Democrats rejected every Republican amendment for 9 hours in a row last night and into the wee hours of this morning. Republicans finally noticed a glitch in the Pell Grant early this morning.

Now that Republicans are on a roll, they are going to look for more glitches. Conservatives want to know the answer to this question: Will Republicans find enough glitches in Obama's Health Care Plan to halt it completely?

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on that one. Democrats have an agenda, and they will not let up on their zeal to turn America into a Socialist-bordering-on Communist country.

This is not only about President Barack Obama's Heathcare Bill. It's about a corrupt liberal leftist Congress with too many Democrats who side with the United Nations on too many issues. Perhaps America will soon be called another name -- Obamica? United Nations of American States? Your guess is as good as mine.

"After nine straight hours of beating back Republican amendments, Senate Democrats hit a temporary snag in the nighttime hours early Thursday. They had hoped to complete work on the fix-it bill by midday Thursday and get it quickly to Obama without changes to avoid prolonging what has been a politically painful ordeal for the party." 1

But Republicans learned early Thursday they will be able to kill some language in the bill that relates to Pell grants for low-income college students. That means the altered bill will have to be returned to the House for final congressional approval before it can be sent to Obama." 1

"Democrats described the situation as a minor glitch, but did not rule out that Republicans might be able to remove additional sections of the bill." 1

"Republicans have been hunting for such violations in hopes of bringing down the legislation. Democrats had also been consulting with the parliamentarian, Alan Frumin, and hoped they had written a measure that would not be vulnerable to such problems."

"The development came as the Senate completed nine hours of uninterrupted voting on 29 GOP amendments to the legislation. Majority Democrats defeated every amendment." 1

"By 57-42, Democrats rejected an amendment by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., barring federal purchases of Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs for sex offenders. Coburn said it would save millions of dollars, while Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., called it "a crass political stunt." 1

Democrats also deflected GOP amendments rolling back the health law's Medicare cuts; killing extra Medicaid funds for Tennessee and other state-specific spending; barring tax increases for families earning under $250,000; and requiring the president and other administration officials to purchase health care from exchanges the statute creates." 1

In light of media coverage proclaiming that President Obama's new Health Care Plan is to cover 94-95% of Americans, I have been wondering who the other 5-6% might be. I thought about the Amish. They don't believe in health insurance, but prefer to take care of each other when in need or ill, which is a Christian concept, and part of their strict Christian faith.

I respect the Amish, although I don't agree with some of their tenets. At least they are a peacable people, and generally don't go around physically harming others. On my Townhall.com weblog I previously wrote and published a post about the Amish being exempt from the Military. *See Link To This Post Below.

I have also been wondering about Christian Scientists who, based on their religious beliefs, generally don't believe in going to doctors at all, but rely on their own internal Christian Scientist practitioners. Will they be exempt also?

I have now been alerted to a post published today on American Thinker about the Amish being exempt, due to their religious beliefs, from the new Obama Administration Health Care Plan. Christian Scientists are not mentioned in this particular article, but Orthodox Muslims are! And this has to be the epitomy of nonsensical political correctness within the logic of those who invented this extremely controversial Health Care Plan.

Anyone who lives in the vicinity of Los Angeles, California, which includes myslef, is quite aware of the fact that there are a large number of Muslim doctors in this area who definitely accept medical insurance. My guess is they're not Orthodox Muslims. In fact, the American Thinker post states: "Whether it's all right to serve as a doctor, nurse, or orderly caring for patients whose medical services are being paid for by insurance is not covered in the present response ... "

To quote the American Thinker article:

It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah (15/251):

"In Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah (15/277) there is a quotation of a statement of the Council of Senior Scholars concerning the prohibition on insurance and why it is haraam:

Firstly: Commercial insurance of all types is haraam because it involves ambiguity, riba, uncertainty, gambling and consuming people's wealth unlawfully, and other shar'i

Secondly: It is not permissible for the Muslim to get involved with insurance companies by working in administration or otherwise, because working in them comes under the heading of cooperating in sin and transgression, and Allaah forbids that as He says: "but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment"[al-Maa'idah 5:2]. End quote. 1

The U.S. economy will suffer due to the political machinations of President Barack Obama, and his politically leftist Democratic Congress passing of Obama's Health Care Bill, which has left many Americans feeling fear, confusion, doubt, sorrow, and anger.

Forcing policies upon American citizens against their wills, policies that are not guaranteed rights in the United States Constitution or Bill of Rights, as far as I know, is unconstitutional. This is just one of many sharp contrasts between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats believe in Big Government, and its ability to govern the lives of Americans; Republicans believe in Americans, and their ability to largely govern their own lives.

What the Obama Administration has done should be recognized by the United States Supreme Court as being unconstitutional, and, consequently, illegal. The United States Congress has crossed the line of democracy. At least a dozen attorneys, representing twelve states, are planning to sue the Federal government over President Obama's Health Care Plan.

If creating a National Health Insurance Plan was the #1 top priority in the mind of Barack Obama and his Administration, it should have been accomplished without the use of "force," and without getting the IRS involved in this "force" factor.

Creating 16,000 jobs within the IRS, for the main purpose of penalizing and policing Americans who either can't afford, or simply are not interested in, Obama's National Health Plan, for whatever reasons, is not the way to help the American economy.

Three Guantanamo (Gitmo) Detainees have been transferred from the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to the country of Georgia.

"Georgia's Interior Ministry says that three former Guantanamo Bay detainees transferred to the ex-Soviet nation will live in freedom but won't be allowed to leave the country."1

"Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said Wednesday that the three detainees come from Middle East countries. He said they would be allowed to contact their families and enjoy other freedoms, but could not travel abroad."1

"A presidential task force recommended at least 80 of the Guantanamo prisoners be brought to the U.S. for trial before civilian courts or military commissions or for continued imprisonment without charges."1

"Since 2002 when the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was opened, more than 580 detainees have been moved from there to other destinations. At least 38 countries have accepted Guantanamo detainees."1

Speaking about Obama's presidential task force, what kind of administration would create a presidential task force to recommend 80 Guantanamo Bay prisoners (politically incorrect words: Jihadist (specifically Muslim) terrorists or Muslim co-conspirators in perpetrating terrorism upon the United States and the world) would want 80 of these dangerous and evil men to go to the United States to be tried? Or be in prison forever (again in the United States?) without any charges?

If you are currently a democrat or libertarian, please consider changing your political leanings before the November elections. The Republican/GOP party is waiting for you. What have you got to lose except unjust anger and moments of pure insanity?

I don't know what the reasoning is behind President Obama's signing the Healthcare Bill with 20 different pens. *See Below For Newly Published Information As To Reasons Why Obama Used 20 Different Pens To Sign Healthcare Bill. Updated On Wednesday, March 24, 2010.

In addition to members of Congress, there will also be additional Americans, private citizens, who have been invited to the signing ceremony to talk about how they will personally benefit from Obama's Healthplan:

Reason #2: "He was continuing a long-standing White House tradition for approving important legislation."

"The pens are 'a way of giving a very meaningful memento to the people who played a significant role in passing the legislation,' said Mark Peterson, a professor of public policy and political science at UCLA."

"Obama kept a pen for himself after signing the bill, and 19 pens were given out as mementos. Two will go to his presidential archives." from the Los Angeles Times article posted by Nicole Santa Cruz, March 24, 2010: Pens play a role in signing of healthcare legislation

Obama has signed the Healthcare Bill -- it's official. America is now becoming a Socialist country thanks to President Barack Obama (Democrat), perhaps the most leftist liberal U.S. President in American history.

"Obama paid tribute to what he called the 'historic leadership and uncommon courage' of the members of Congress who pushed ahead with the measure amid the often heated debate. He also hailed the new law, saying it helps lift a 'decades-long drag' on the economy." 1

"Shortly after Obama signed the bill, mostly Republican attorneys general from 13 states said they are suing the federal government to stop the health care overhaul, arguing that the provision that requires Americans to carry health insurance is unconstitutional. Experts say the effort will likely fail because the U.S. Constitution states that federal law supersedes state laws, but the legal challenge may keep the issue fresh in the mind of voters come November." 1

"Now the president must sell the law's merits to a wary American public." 1

"The next act begins Thursday, when Obama visits Iowa City, Iowa, where he announced his health care plan as a presidential candidate in May 2007. There Obama plans to talk about how the new law will help lower health care costs for small businesses and families, selling the overhaul to Americans who are deeply divided over the plan." 1

"The House passed the 10-year, $938 billion bill Sunday night after a rancorous debate. Not one Republican voted for the bill. Some Democrats also voted against it." 1

The Bosnian war effort to fight against genocide by Dutch soldiers was not successful partly due to to "open" gay soldiers being allowed in the army, according to John Sheehan, a former NATO commander who retired from the military in 1997.

John Sheehan "shocked some at a Senate Armed Services Committee, where Sheehan spoke in opposition to a proposal to allow gays to serve openly in the U.S. military. Committee Chairman Sen. Carl Levin told Sheehan he was 'totally off-target.'" 1

"Sheehan said European militaries deteriorated after the collapse of the Soviet Union and focused on peacekeeping because 'they did not believe the Germans were going to attack again or the Soviets were coming back.'" 1

"Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and other nations believed there was no longer a need for an active combat capability in the militaries, he said. 'They declared a peace dividend and made a conscious effort to socialize their military - that includes the unionization of their militaries, it includes open homosexuality.'" 1

"Sheehan said European militaries deteriorated after the collapse of the Soviet Union and focused on peacekeeping because 'they did not believe the Germans were going to attack again or the Soviets were coming back.'" 1

"Levin, D-Mich., appeared incredulous. "'Did the Dutch leaders tell you it (the fall of Srebrenica) was because there were gay soldiers there?' he asked." 1

"'Yes,' Sheehan said. 'They included that as part of the problem.' He said the former chief of staff of the Dutch army had told him." 1

CONSERVATIVE WORDSMITH.COM COMMENTARY: This unexpected information must have been a shock to liberals attending the Senate Armed Services Committee. John Sheehan, a retired U.S. general, received his information from a reliable source, the former chief of staff of the Dutch army. But, knowing how liberals can't stand to face the truth even when it is staring them in the face, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Sheehan's statment induces short-term memory loss in those that heard it.

Did Thomas Jefferson and James Madison believe in political parties? Yes. As a matter of fact, America's Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and James Madison founded the Democratic-Republican Party around 1792. 1

"Jeffersonian purists, or 'Old Republican' wing of the party, led by Jefferson, John Randolph of Roanoke, William H. Crawford, and Nathaniel Macon, favored low tariffs, states' rights, strict construction of the Constitution, and reduced spending. It opposed a standing army. The 'National Republicans,' led by Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams and John C. Calhoun, eventually favored higher tariffs, a stronger national defense, and 'internal improvements' (public works projects).[4] After the Federalist Partybroke up in 1815, many former members joined the D-R's nationalist faction.[5]"

Do you hate President Ronald Reagan and President George W. Bush? If so, you are a political liberal, and most likely either a Democrat, Independent, or even a Libertarian.

If you think Libertarians are true conservatives, think again. Some of them might be, but many are not. Ron Paul, who "converted" from being a Republican to a Libertarian is a good example.

Are there other ways to know if you are a conservative or a liberal? There are many ways, but the bottom line is this:

If you especially hate President George W. Bush, and blame him and his Republican administration for 9/11, you are not only a liberal, but a Truther, and you probably love and support political figures such as Ron Paul.

If you think America should be submissive to the United Nations, and you believe that Al Gore deserved to win the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his ideas on global warming, you are a liberal.

If you believe global warming is true, and poses a greater threat to the future destruction of our world than the threat of fanatical Muslim Jihadist terrorists, you are a liberal.

If you love and give your support to President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, you are a leftist liberal democrat, and you most likely support Palestine instead of Israel.

If you support Palestinians instead of Israelis, and your heroes are Muslim Jihadist Terrorists such as Hamas, you are a liberal anti-semite, disguised in the politically correct garb of liberal intellectualism.

If, on the other hand, you consider yourself to be an Anti-Terrorist, support Israel, believe that global warming, based on correct scientific evidence, is a hoax, genuinely love America and consider yourself to be an American patriot, you are a conservative.

President Barack Obama reflected on his Irish heritage on St. Patrick's Day today, March 17. Obama also met with Ireland's Prime Minister Brian Cowen. Obama said he has some Irish blood from his mother's side of the family. "'I believe it was my great-great-great-great-great grandfather,' he said at Speaker Pelosi's Friends of Ireland Luncheon today in the Capitol." 1

"But that's two 'greats'more than the far-removed Irish relative he referred to on St. Patrick's Day a year ago as 'my great-great-great grandfather.'" 1

"Then as now, Mr. Obama said the relative hailed from County Offaly, the same as Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen." 1

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton disputes Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren's statement to "fellow Israeli diplomats that relations between the two countries are 'in a crisis.'" 1

According to an article published today at CNN Politics, Hillary Clinton believes that there is no crisis. "'Oh, I don't buy that,' Clinton told reporters Tuesday at the State Department." "'We have an absolute commitment to Israel's security. We have a close, unshakable bond between the United States and Israel and between the American and Israeli people.'"

Yet in her next breath, Hillary Clinton said that the United States is disappointed that Israel will allow 1,600 new settler housing units to be constructed in East Jerusalem. "'We'll see what the next days hold,' Clinton said. "'There's just too much at stake for the Palestinians and the Israelis. ... Our goal now is to make sure that we have the full commitment from both our Palestinian and Israeli partners to this effort.'" 1

Clinton also told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the United States wants Israel to issue an official declaration that talks with the Palestinians, even indirect talks, would deal with all the conflict's core issues, including borders, refugees, Jerusalem and settlements, the sources said. 1

CONSERVATIVE WORDSMITH.COM COMMENTARY: It would be nice if Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would make up her mind about where the United States of America, under the leadership of the very liberal President Barack Obama, does stand regarding Israel and Jewish settlers.

If Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren thinks Israel and America are "in a crisis," that statement had better be taken seriously, especially by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the rest of President Barack Obama's leftist liberal democratic cabinet.

According to Hillary Clinton's own statements (see above), her concerns, in typical leftist liberal fashion, seems to be more focused on the Palestinians than on the Israelis. If that alone, besides a numerous amount of other pertinent factors, isn't enough to call this a crisis, then I don't know what is.

Either the United States of America is an ally and friend to the Israelis or an ally and friend to the Palestinians; being an ally and friend to both, in light of the terrorist organization Hamas' looming presence in Palestine, is not a wise choice.

Please, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, make up your mind who the U.S. is, in fact, supporting: Israel or Palestine? And please acknowledge that Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren is correct when he states that that the two countries are "in a crisis." The fact is, according to other News Sources (see Related Links below), the U.S./Israel relationship is at its lowest in 35 years.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of a Hamas founder, and a man who helped Israel's security forces murder and arrest members of the Islamic Jihadist Terrorist group Hamas, told the Associated Press, during a 50-minute interview on Wednesday, March 3, the Muslim religion "is not a religion of peace." 1

"In his memoir, Yousef, the 32-year-old son of a Hamas founder, claims he was one of the Shin Bet security agency's best assets and was dubbed The Green Prince, a reference to his Hamas pedigree and the Islamists' signature green color." 1

"Sheik Hassan Yousef said in a letter that his family had renounced 'the one who was once our eldest son, who is called Mosab.'" 1

"The son 'disbelieved in God' and 'collaborated with our enemies,' said the father, who's serving a six-year term in an Israeli prison." 1

It is worth mentioning that, in the interim, Yousef converted to Christianity. "Yousef said he started working with the Shin Bet after he was arrested and witnessed Hamas brutalities inside prison. When he was released in 1997, he started meeting with the Shin Bet and gravitating toward Christianity." 1

"And he hurled his most inflammatory comments at Islam, which he called a religion that teaches people to kill." 1

"In referring to the Muslim religion, or religion of Islam, Yousef said, 'It is not a religion of peace,' said Yousef, who converted to Christianity. 'The biggest terrorist is the God of the Quran. I know this is very dangerous and this will offend many people. The more you follow the steps of the prophet of Islam and the God of Islam, the more you get close to being a terrorist.'" 1

"'The God of Quran is trying to unskin Muslims from their humanity,' he said, later adding, 'Muslims are good people. But their God is absolutely bad.'" 1

According to the Associated Press, Yousef's life is now in danger because of his speaking out against Hamas and the Muslim religion. But Yousef has a story to tell, and has written, and newly published, a book entitled "Son of Hamas." Yousef said that if Hamas kills him, they will be responsible for his blood. 1

AUTHOR'S COMMENTARY: I find it absolutely fascinating that this young 32-year old man, raised in the religion of Islam by a founder of the Islamic Jihadist "Terrorist" group Hamas (or, if you are politically correct, which I am not, Islamic "Militant" Group Hamas) is willing to risk his life to tell the world the truth about the inherrent violence and evilness of the Muslim religion, and of the Muslim "god" of the Koran or Quran. (I purposely did not capitalize the word "god," in referring to "Allah", the Muslim religion's conception of the word.)

If you think Allah, the "god" of the Quran, is the same "God" of the Holy Bible, as in the God of Judaism and Christianity, think again. In fact, if you think Allah is god at all, think twice.

The Muslim Terrorist tactic of beheading "infidels" while, at the same time, shouting in Arabic "Allah is great! There is no god but Allah," leads any reasonable mind to the correct conclusion that Allah is not god. But then there are many people, expecially those on the politically correct liberal political spectrum, who do not have reasonable minds.
